depends where you go. I knew of a place in sf that sold 91 for 2.81 when it was 2.65 everywhere else.

i need to find cheaper gas...i should seriously stop being picky and only going to 76. but last time i went to cheveron @ 11:30pm because 76 was closed, and the credit card company called me that night and the next morning asking if it was really me getting gas since i never get it elsewhere. This is the 3rd time it's happened... Shows how predictable i am

2.65 (I think) at chevoron... altantic and commonwealth. the prices are set by the gas company. Some sell it cheaper because the owner probably own a couple of gas stations so he can make less profit at one of them and other will cover that one. That's what my friend's dad told me cause he owns a gas station. He said he doesn't actually make a lot of profit from gas, he make profits from selling snacks, which shock me cause I never buy stuff from the gas station except lottery tickets...

I usually use 76 also, just cause I like their gas better.
Why is ethanol SP better and what do others use?
